To increase the energy transfer of a wave, the girl can focus on the amplitude and frequency of the wave. The options provided include repeating the first option ("She can increase the frequency of the wave.") and suggesting actions that would actually decrease energy transfer (decreasing frequency or making amplitude shorter).

The correct action to take for increasing energy transfer is:

**She can increase the frequency of the wave.**

Higher frequency waves carry more energy. Additionally, increasing the amplitude of the wave (though not mentioned in your choices) would also lead to a greater energy transfer. Therefore, the most suitable choice that aligns with increasing energy transfer from the options provided is to increase the frequency of the wave.
